years.

The love of his friends and country
no dowbt called him, for he returned
to Norway and there united in mar-
riage with Anna Forlen. The spirit
of adventure and new land appealed

brothers and a sister in Norway.

scientist said.

Faith in God may be a thoroughly
scientific attitude, Dr. Compton de-
clared, even though it is not possible
to establish the correctness of the
belief.

“Such a faith is presumably based
on the experience that the hypo-
thesis of God gives a more reasonable
interpretation of the world than any
other,“ he said.

Analyzing the present stage of
evolution Dr. Compton said man ‘is
now master of plant and animal life
on earth and to a large extent even
the means of controlling his own
evolution.

The cabins are fitted inside with a

60e | Gentlemen:

Original Thinking

That was a most thoucht-provoking
plea for original thinking which Sir
Frederick Banting made to the stu-
dents at the University of Saskat-
chewan the other day. Counselling
them to take a serious view of their
training, he said, “you will be mas-
ters of the country tomorrow and in
the face of all the ‘isms’ challenging
the world, you must keep your feet
on the ground.”

Sir Frederick Banting’s remarks
at Saskatoon were made when on a
nation-wide tour of inspection of fa-
cilities for medical research in col-
leges and hospitals. With Sir Fred-
erick as chairman, an associate com-
mittee on medical research was re-
cently established by the national
research council] and it is confidently
expected that this forward move will
stimulate original research in Can-
ada. This country has already given
the world some of the great blessings
of scientific study — including Sir
Frederick Banting’s insulin — and it
will be a matter of further pride if in
the future, Canada should lead the
world in medical discoveries. Cancer,
for example, was mentioned by Sir
Frederick as presenting a tremen-
dous challenge to science. Experi-
mentation in the pure science of phy-
sics had been the beginning of radi-
um treatment of this disease.

In industry too, the University
students could render national ser-
vice as they did in Germany before
the war, when they were called upon
to solve many industrial problems.

As this eminent authority so well
expressed it, Science of today was
the research of yesterday—there was
no better barometer of the standing
of a University or country than its

home, to which his sisters can return
in times of depression, should they
marry city men, because:

1. The farmer has more and bet-
ter food to eat than most city people,
and in times of depression he is more
certain of a livlihood—if he has not
mortgaged the farm.

2. The farmer has better health
than city men and lives longer—about
five years longer, according to a re-
cent study of a a life insurance com-
pany.

3. The farmer accumulates more
property—becomes a wealthier man
than the average city person. This
may not be true in the South.
true in the North because of the mil-
lions of city people have almost no
property at all—except an automobile.
Wealth in the city is probably four
or. five times more concentrated than
in the rural territory.

4. The farmer is more likely to
enjoy his work than most city. people.
Most city work is monotonous—tend-
ing a machine in a factory, operating
a typewriter, standing behind a coun-
ter in a retail store hour after hour.

The farmer is more likely to rear
a family and do his part to promote

the are of the nation and the

race. The family is becoming small-
er and weaker in the cities, Only
two-thirds enough children are now
being born in our cities to maintain
their population permanently.

The conditions of living and the
philosophy of life in the cities tend
towards extinction. The rural philos-

A GOOD SUGGESTION

(Editorial from Calgary Herald of
December 20, 1988)

Among the promising proposals dis-
cugsed at Winnipeg last week was one
that a Western Canada division of the
National Research Council should be
established at once to conduct re-
search into new uses for wheat and
The provision
of up-to date laboratories at some
no point in the prairie provinces was
urged.

This has been followed by the sug-
gestion of the North-West Grain
Dealers’ Association that an interna-
tional research laboratory should be
set up in London, staffed by interna-
tionally famous cereal chemists, to
seek a solution of the recurring wheat
surplus problem. The International
Wheat Advisory Committee meets in
London on January 10th and includes
representatives of all the wheat ex-
porting countries.

This latest plan to find new indus-
trial uses for wheat and other grains
includes, as well as a central labora-
tory in London, the establishment of
similar research facilities in all
countries where the disposal of wheat
has become a national problem. Can-
ada is thus giving the lead in a
movement that promises rich results,
for it is recognized that unwieldy
world wheat surpluses may be here to
stay for a long time unless radical
measures are adopted to discover
other uses for Wheat.

[Te Whom It May Concern:

Re Farmers’ International Broadcast

We, the Executive of the United
Farmers of Alberta, would appreci-
ate it very much if you would give
the assistance of your valuable pub-

| lication in the territory served by you

by giving some publicity to a special
farmers’ broadcast which will be put
on by our organization at the time of
our annual convention to be held Jan.
17 to 20 at the Palliser hotel, Calgary.
This special broadcast will take place
on Thursday evening at the time of
our annual get-together dance which
will start at 9 p.m. M.S.T., and last
until 1 a.m., over radio station CFCN
(1030 k.c.) During this period we
will have the OFCN old time orches-
tra, and we will have full charge of
the broadcast for the rest of the even-
ing. Fraternal greetings will be ex-
changed with farmers’ organizations
in British Columbia, Saskatchewan,
Manitoba, ‘and all of the farmers’ or-
ganizations within reach of the sta-
tion across the line in U.S.A.

This is a new venture which has
not been tried before by any other
farmer organization in Canada, so
far as we are aware, which we think
would be of news value to you. We
would appreciate it very much if you
would give us what assistance you can
in getting publicity for this event
through the medium of your publica-
tion.

_ Thanking you in anticipation,

Yours sincerely,
Jack Sutherland.

The Price of Seed

Many farmers are puzzled about the differ-
ent prices being asked for seed grain.

The fact is that seeds—Registered and Certi-
fied—are of different qualities. The highest priced, in the
end, will be found to be the best “buy.” The extra quality
of the crop will be giving satisfaction long after the extra
price has been forgotten.
